It looks like slimeball spammers are scraping the outages lists foe email addresses. Someone told me they see this scum company on these lists. Has anyone gotten one of these, so I can validate the info is correct?

I've not myself seen any, Scott, and yours is the first report. <moderator> But, for the record: *IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SCRAPE THIS LIST OR IT'S ARCHIVE FOR EMAIL ADDRESSES FOR COMMERCIAL EMAIL*. If a list member *solicits* suggestions, recommendations, or quotes, that's another thing. The fact that I had to say it concerning these lists should not be considered evidence for exceptio probat regulum: it's *never* OK to do that. Anywhere. </moderator> Cheers, -- jr "you'd think people would get it by now" a -- Jay R.
